Top Ten Favorite Movies

Philadelphia. Still makes me cry.

O Brother Where Art Thou? Still makes me laugh.

Both had great sound tracks too.
 
It's a bit surprising that no one has listed Gone with the Wind. It was never a favorite of mine, but it's widely considered to be one of the greats.
 
Two others to add - Jack in One Flew Over The Cuckoo Nest and The Shining. Kind of unknown foreign film - Elvira Madigan. Keep em coming

OK. You asked for it. I do love horror movies, so, in this area...

Night of the Living Dead
Let The Right One In
The Thing
Rosemary's Baby
Psycho
The Exorcist
 
Most of my top 10 already mention. A few of Paul Newman's earlier works would be on my favorites list.

The Hustler
Cool Hand Luke
The Sting
 
Casablanca
Blues Brothers
It's a Wonderful Life
The Deer Hunter
The Wizard of Oz
12 Monkeys
Star Trek IV
Animal House
One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest
Unforgiven


There are many good movies out there. I usually don't want to see the same on twice. If I do, then it gets to be a candidate for “Great”. For me, all of the Star Trek and Clint Eastwood movies fall into that category. I am a sucker for the older movies, too. Interesting how they talked, habits, clothes etc during the 1920s, 1930s.
 
More good ones...
A Few Good Men (I think I have seen this one, The Fugitive and The Hunt for Red October at least 30 times....)
Lethal Weapon 1-4
Thomas Crown Affair
Erin Brokavich
Double Jeopardy


And for the young at heart.....
Finding Nemo
Toy Story 1 - 3
 
Casablanca
Godfather 1
The Deer Hunter
Big
Silence of the Lambs
That Thing You Do
Point Break
Braveheart
For Love of the Game
The Great Escape

I hate that I had to pull It's a Wonderful Life out to make room, not to mention another dozen I could watch just about anytime. But I wanted to get in a couple that'll probably only make my list.

10 of my favorites:

Tombstone
City of God
Holy Grail
Horse Whisperer
LA Confidential
When Harry met Sally
Conspiracy Theory
Caddy Shack
JFK
Lord of the Rings Trilogy
 
Some other oldies I like:

All About Eve
Rebecca
The Hustler
Night of the Iguana
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
 
Field of Dreams
Big Lebowski
Scent of a Woman (though I watched it years ago and I may not have the same opinion now.)

I just watched the Graduate last night. I thought it was very good the first time (I was in Junior High). My new opinion is that it really isn't such a very good movie, except for the music and Ann Bancroft's acting. I guess some things are forever and some, just aren't. I'm sure the movie meant a lot in their generation.
